Delia, my friend and family, know me very well. They do have the right things to say at the given time.
My "friends" who don't know me very well, sometimes act as if they can understand even if they mean well.
Words like: I understand, can not comfort me, if the person doesn't have my level of pain.
I am grateful though, that I do have friends who most of the time, have the right words.
P.S. If your friends don't understand and their words do not comfort you, talk to them, be honest.
Let them know, how you feel and most likely, they will try to back off (if that is what you want) , be silent next to you, or find the right words.

As it is with gifts, it is usually the thought that counts. Unless they are being totally rude and insensitive, then the effort itself is comforting. I would not, for example, tell a grieving parent that it maybe it was "God's will" that their child passed away. I would simply be there to talk and offer a shoulder.

They tell me not to worry to much, that everything happens for a reason, and the kicker statement is "You shouldn't feel like that"

I agree with some other answers. This "It will be OK." stuff just doesn't cut it sometimes.
